Just ahead of CES proper, Schlage has announced that its immensely popular Schlage Sense Smart Deadbolt (say that five times fast) will soon work with Google Assistant. A few months back, it added support for Amazon’s Alexa, right after adding an Android app for remote control. And now, sometime in Q1 of this year, you’ll be able to ‘Hey Google’ your way into locking or unlocking your Schlage-equipped front door.

The U11, HTC’s second flagship phone of 2017, stands out from the crowd with its squeezable frame. The phone’s software can perform custom actions based on how intensely you squeeze the phone – something that this year’s Pixels might get too. Now the company is testing a beta update for the Edge Sense app, allowing users to set their own custom actions.

The Verge evaluated the beta early, and shared details about the new functionality.

While LG isn’t exactly a household name in the headphone business, the company’s Tone line of Bluetooth headsets are extremely popular – like, 7,500+ reviews on Amazon popular. The company’s newest model – the most premium its released yet – is the Tone Infinim, model HBS900. With tuning by Harman Kardon, they get a bit of audio brand recognition, but I honestly would just say these are a good set of headphones altogether.

If you hopped on the I want a really big HTC phone train, then you probably have a One Max. If that One Max also happens to be on Verizon, it’s time to start checking for updates, because Sense 6 is rolling out now. Woo for you.

Always a reliable source of exciting info not yet intended for public consumption, @evleaks has just tweeted a screenshot labeled plainly “M8,” the implication being that we’re looking at a screenshot from HTC’s yet-unnamed flagship phone. The screenshot looks pretty sharp, featuring white iconography on KitKat-style translucent system bars, and familiar HTC-flavored launcher icons.

Verizon posted details surround an incoming update for the DROID DNA several months ago that would bring the device up to Android 4.2.2 and dress it up with Sense 5, but an OTA never came. Now that’s changing, as Verizon has officially announced it and provided a detailed overview of changes owners can expect. The update will provide an experience similar to that on the HTC One, with features such as BlinkFeed, quick settings, and improved Sense apps making their way over to what was 2012′s best DROID.

HTC said last a while back that the Android 4.3 update would hit all US HTC One handsets by the end of September. That obviously didn’t happen, but the company wasn’t too far off in the case of Sprint. That version of the device is getting the update today.
